Description

The French Cottage is situated on the historic farm Naauwpoort in Clarens. The cottage is less than a 4-minute drive from the town square and about a 15-minute walk. Access to all the hiking trails of Clarens is just outside the main entrance of the property.

The cottage is built in French style with the iconic Clarens sandstone. It comprises 3 bedrooms, each with its own entrance. Of the downstairs bedrooms, 1 has a double bed and 1 has 2 three-quarter beds. Both share a bathroom fitted with a corner bath and shower. The upstairs bedroom contains a king-size bed and features an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath and a shower. Each room has its own tea- and coffee-making facilities. The linen is luxury, crisp, white cotton percale, and soft towels are provided for each guest. Each bedroom contains a heater, electric blankets and extra blankets for those chilly winter nights. Both bathrooms have a heater.

The country-style open-plan kitchen and dining room have wonderful views of the property and the surrounding mountains. It is equipped with a cast-iron stove which is ideal for fires in the wintertime. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove and convection oven, a fridge-freezer and a microwave. A TV with full DStv is provided upstairs. Guests have access to braai facilities as well as free Wi-Fi. Upstairs is accessed by an external staircase.

Secure parking is provided and the garden is completely fenced off, making it safe for young children. A large variety of bird life can be found as well including grey duiker, porcupine and hyrax. The property is home to a large overhanging cave with Bushman paintings and a perennial waterfall.
